NPR did a good story on him today. If they are believed to be accurate the Aussies don't have any real love for him and thinks he is getting what he deserved.

I wouldn't believe everything in the media if I were you.

Realistically, there are very few Australians who are saying he should be simply released. What most Australians are saying is that it's criminal what's been done to him and when are the authorities responsible for that crime going to be held accountable.

His guilt or innocence has become secondary.

A terrorist, secondary? Okee-dokee, you can have em'.

Of course his guilt or innocence is secondary when the issue is how he is treated before his trial. At that point, you can't put guilt or innocence into the equation.

Even after a trial and a guilty verdict, there are issues that are orthogonal to his guilt or innocence.

Who knows if he's a terrorist? He's never been tried. My statement refers to the fact that he's been treated so poorly and he wasn't even charged for several years. now he's finally agreed to a plea bargain and I don't doubt that it's just so that he can get out of the shithole he's been living in, so this does not prove his guilt.

Ok, maybe we could just send him back with some bomb making material or he could fly himself in a 747.:worried:

Non sequitur.

Again, no one knows if this man is a terrorist or not.

Well I guess my plan is a good way to find out. Ok, if he can't fly an airplane we could just let him fly commercial with a fully loaded AK-47 back to Aussie land.

You really do have issues with reality don't you?

I am quite in touch with reality. It is people who want to ignore terrorists like Hicks that got us into much of this mess in the first place. Line right up with the rest of the sheep.

Once again, he's not been proven guilty of any crime. Do you have so little faith in your judicial system that you'll make your own decision instead of waiting for the facts?

No I do not want to wait. I want to send him back to Aussie Land as soon as possible. Nothing more nothing less. I want him to go home to his country of origin. I want all of the detainees to go home to thier home countries immediately. Released to thier countries governments to do with as they please. I want he US to stop spending tax payer dollars on these idiots. Put them all on rafts out to sea. Just get them off our backs.

That's exactly the way I see it A. Guilty or innocent, justice delayed is still justice denied. Even now, the military commissions don't seem to have much justice about them.

Well maybe he will cash in after all.
